GAMP WRECKED
STORM AT MILFORD SOUND
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, September 29. A violent north-westerly storm on September 14 completely wrecked the No. 1 Public Works camp at Milford Sound". Thunder and lightning accompanied the gale, which plucked tents from the ground, and dumped them hundreds of feet' away. Trees were uprooted and sheets of iron hurtled through the air. Although no one was injured, there were many narrow escapes. One workman was lying in bed with measles when an iron gable shorn from a hut some distance away was hurled against his tent. It struck one of the stout poles of the tent and the man was unscathed.
